The magical mystery tours of many animals span the globe. Swallows fly a distance equivalent to the moon and back several times during their lifetime, and they will return to the same nest site year after year.
What are the advantages of jet-setting? What kind of navigational clues do intercontinental travellers use?
Tony Soper follows our swallows south to see where they spend the winter.

Written and presented by Iain Johnstone
In 1968 Barbra Streisand was sent a short story written by Nobel Prize -winner Isaac Bashevis Singer. In 1983 she finally completed the film of that story - Yentl. She starred in it, directed for the first time, produced and co-wrote it. It was the culmination of a 15-year fight to persuade people to invest in a project she 'passionately believed in' but which no-one else did.
In the summer of 1982 she began filming and allowed BBC cameras to observe her at work. In a candid interview with Iain Johnstone she revealed for the first time her doubts and insecurities about this mammoth undertaking. The programme includes extracts and musical numbers from the completed film.
